Bill Summary
Unauthorized entry of a critical infrastructure facility; reservoirs removed from list of facilities
AI Summary
This bill amends Alabama law to redefine what constitutes a "critical infrastructure facility" by removing reservoirs that meet the definition of public waters from the list of such facilities, meaning unauthorized entry into these specific reservoirs will no longer be considered a crime under this section. Critical infrastructure is defined as systems or assets vital to national security, economic security, public health, or safety, and the bill clarifies that this includes various industrial, energy, transportation, and communication facilities, but now excludes certain public water reservoirs. The bill also outlines penalties for unauthorized entry, including Class A misdemeanors for simple trespassing and Class C felonies for causing injury or interfering with operations, especially when involving weapons or unmanned aircraft systems.
